My photography is about the ordinary, the mundane and the unseen. For me, it’s always been about capturing what’s right there, right in front of us, that we all walk past without really noticing. I look for what’s hidden in plain sight that’s either transient, decaying or so obvious we’ve all stopped seeing it.

Much of my work is about rendering the commonplace abstract – from muddy tyre tracks; to architectural details; to utilitarian plastic orange mesh; to calm, simple images of the pavement.
